openTEL is pleased to announce that next week’s Assessment and Feedback Special Interest Group will explore the insights into plagiarism gleaned from ten years of data collection.
Good academic practice and identifying plagiarism cases
Peter Taylor
Abstract: The Open University implemented its present plagiarism policy about ten years ago. Since then we have gathered a great deal of data on annual average numbers, types of cases and student characteristics.
In this presentation we will review the existing process for detecting plagiarism and analyse some of the data collected over the last ten years. In particular we will highlight some of the characteristic factors that may lead to an increased likelihood of students plagiarising. However, we will also discuss the complexities of the significance of the data and the issues of trying to assign a cause.
